India has witnessed numerous high-profile cases that have not only shocked the population but kept them captivated with intrigue and suspense. The list of such cases is long, featuring instances where the truth was twisted and, at times, completely falsified, leading to questions about whether justice truly prevailed. In his more than three-decade-long career, decorated IPS officer Amod K. Kanth had the opportunity to be involved in some of the most sensational and heinous crimes that dominated national headlines.
In the second volume of his Police Diaries series, Khaki on Broken Wings, former Director General of Police Amod K. Kanth delves into these notorious cases, drawing on his extensive knowledge of real-world crimes committed by the rich and powerful. Through his writing, Kanth exposes the loopholes within the criminal justice system, including the police investigations crucial to any prosecution, the courts and lawyers, and the prison and correctional services, all of which are often exploited ruthlessly.
In a conversation with Indian Masterminds, Kanth, who is also a social activist and founder of the NGO Prayas, discusses his book and the glaring flaws in the criminal justice system. He raises critical questions about whether the new criminal laws will be effective in safeguarding justice, providing a compelling narrative that promises to shed light on the hidden workings of the system and its impact on justice in India.
